//! Exhaustive tests for `TaskState` transitions (T-9).
//!
//! Every ordered pair of the 9 `TaskState` variants is checked, so the full
//! 81-cell matrix is pinned here.
//!
//! # The rules under test
//!
//! Spec §4.1.3 enumerates the task states and marks which are terminal and
//! which are interrupted. It does **not** define a transition matrix, and it
//! never requires a task to pass through an intermediate state. Only two
//! rules follow from what it does say:
//!
//! 1. **Terminal states are final.** `Completed`, `Failed`, `Canceled`, and
//!    `Rejected` transition nowhere, including to themselves.
//! 2. **`Submitted` is an entry state.** Nothing transitions into it, nor
//!    into the proto-default `Unspecified`. `Unspecified` as a *source* is
//!    unconstrained: it carries no information, so a task decoded with no
//!    state set must still be able to take its real one.
//!
//! Everything else is permitted.
//!
//! ## Why this is looser than it once was
//!
//! An earlier matrix additionally required `Submitted → Working` before any
//! finish state, and forbade `→ Rejected` from anywhere but `Submitted`.
//! Neither restriction is in the spec, and neither matches the reference
//! SDKs: the official `a2aproject/a2a-tck` SUT contract completes and
//! requests input directly from `Submitted`, and running that suite against
//! this SDK failed six `MUST`-level checks with a spurious `InvalidParams`.
//! An agent that answers a trivial request in one step never enters
//! `Working` — rejecting it was a bug here, not in the agent. §4.1.3 also
//! says an agent may reject "later once an agent has determined it can't or
//! won't proceed", so `Working → Rejected` is legitimate too.
